For summer picnics, get-togethers, bbqs, etc. the main course, often grilled meat, gets all of the focus but it is also important to have a few good tasty sides on hand! The potato salad is a classic summer side that is easy to make and always goes over well! One of my favourite winter side dishes is a loaded baked potato or a baked potato with all the fixins including cheese, bacon, sour cream and green onions but it is too hot to have the oven on in the summer so why not make a loaded baked potato, potato salad? This baked potato salad is as easy to make as boiling the potatoes, I like using new potatoes in the summer, until tender and then mixing them up with the sour cream, cheese, bacon and green onions. You really cannot go wrong with creamy potatoes, cheese and plenty of bacon and this loaded baked potato salad is sure to be the first dish to disappear from your summer get-together!

The first time I photographed (below) this loaded baked potato salad I didn't garnish it with nearly enough cheese and bacon! :)

I made it and it's great. I used baking potatoes because I like the skins on baked potatoes, but the skins fell off after boiling, which pleased my guy. The proportions are fine. Sprinkle with paprika and a bit of dill if you don't want to garnish.

I don't know why this calls for lemon. I wish I'd considered the fact that no one ever puts lemon on a baked potato, so why would you want it on your loaded baked potato salad? The lemon flavor definitely came through, and it ruined the dish for me.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
